Have you ever thought about the benefits you could accrue from adding controlled traffic farming (CTF) to your no-till operation? Your counterparts in Canada, Europe and Australia certainly have and they’re using this practice to eliminate troublesome compaction.

The organization CTF Europe says farmers can expect as much as a 15% increase in profitability and a 20% reduction in machinery costs by adopting controlled traffic, along with better water infiltration and fertilizer-use efficiency.
